This Volunteers’ Week, Dogs Trust Salisbury celebrates hard-working volunteers and appeals for others to join
Dogs Trust Salisbury is marking Volunteers’ Week (2 - 8 June) by celebrating the incredible impact of its volunteers, and appealing for others to get involved.
Every year, Volunteers’ Week enables the charity to shine a spotlight on the vital role volunteers play and to say thank you to those hard-working individuals. Dogs Trust currently has 3,800 volunteers and 622 foster carers supporting its work in a wide variety of different roles. From caring for dogs in rehoming centres to helping in charity shops and providing foster homes for dogs in need, there’s something for every dog lover to get involved with.
Dogs Trust welcomes volunteers from all walks of life - anyone over 18 years old with a positive attitude and a love for dogs would be a great fit. Whether fresh out of college, working part-time, or enjoying retirement, there’s a role at Dogs Trust. No previous experience is required.
One of the incredible volunteers at Dogs Trust Salisbury is Angela Coveney-Griffiths. When asked about her experience volunteering for Dogs Trust, Angela said: "I am so lucky to be able to spend some time each week doing something that goes towards helping the dogs. I may be cleaning kennels, walking a dog or simply keeping a dog company for a while – it all counts.
She continued,:“It’s amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and how much closer we become with each other because of them.”
Volunteering is a great way to meet people, learn new skills and give something back all while making a genuine difference to the lives of dogs in need.
